Overview

Mission

The specific objectives and purpose of this organization shall be: * To maintain a standard of excellence by providing education, resources, and opportunities to enhance growth in and appreciation for creative arts. * To demonstrate the beauty of creation in the world and in every person, through the natural gifts bestowed by our Creator. * To provide opportunities for personal growth, through collaboration in the creative arts, by building resiliency, creative thinking, and confidence. * To provide opportunities for creative and personal development while encouraging spiritual and relational growth, camaraderie, and friendship.

What it reported doing in 2024

In the beginning of the organization, we worked on getting all of our legal paperwork filed and connected with local organizations where we could host our fine arts camps and workshops to start in 2025. Our purpose is for these camps and workshops to benefit children in the local area who are interested in fine arts programs but do not have access to fine arts either because of lack of funding in public schools or because the child is homeschooled.
